After about six weeks of working with Sara, her customized training began to ease the effects of my scoliosis, allowing me to walk longer distances without pain and even keep pace on five‑mile hikes. The gradual improvements feel transformative, making me more upright and mobile, and her deep expertise has convinced me that having a trainer—especially Sara—is invaluable.

I have worked with Sara Ellis for over 12 years and I attribute to her the strength and agility and balance I have as I enter my 70s. Her one-on-one strength training, her wildly good humor and her love and compassion for life have kept me going both physically and emotionally through trying times. She is extremely knowledgeable about fitness and aging and has made me understand how important it is to have a fitness routine as one ages. I cannot recommend her services, and herself, highly enough.

I’ve been training with Sara fairly regularly for over a year now. After only a few months twice a week, I could see how helpful it was. I’m 65 now, have never been avid or disciplined about exercise, but had managed to stay functional until the last few years when I had slacked off quite a bit. It was getting difficult to get out of the car, walk briskly up a flight of stairs or squat down to pick something up. Now I can do all those things. I noticed the other day that I can grab my heavy cast iron pan that I love out of the lower shelf without that being a project in itself! Sara is a lovely, kind, and gentle person who provides sessions that are varied and personally tailored. Her approach is encouraging, positive, and patient. She’s a knowledgeable trainer and a great conversationalist! I look forward to continuing our sessions and wholeheartedly recommend Sara as a trainer, no matter what your goals.

Sara has really helped me get strong again after hip replacement surgery and a couple of years prior to surgery losing so much muscle tone. I had held off getting a trainer because I often hurt myself trying to use weights and machines. From the beginning Sara gave me appropriate work-outs and I am really pleased with my refound upper body strength and definition–I’m proud of my biceps and triceps. Wow! Also the Super Slow Abdominal Machine is super effective. Lower bod is also much, much stronger! Sara is a wonderful, caring, and knowledgeable trainer!!

Yes, Sara Ellis is the best coach I’ve ever worked with. Experienced and good humored and focused. She designs work outs for me that are making me noticeably stronger, more agile, and better balanced. I can see and feel my progress, and Sara gets the credit!

Sara Ellis has helped me immensely with strengthening and in just a month I’m feeling so much stronger. I have some chronic pain issues, and Sara has been good about ensuring I get a great workout without causing any injury. Sara also keeps the workouts interesting, mixing up the routine and introducing new exercises. I am definitely getting my money’s worth!

Sara is terrific. Her assistance in assessing my strength training needs for cycling, and guidance in how to address them were very helpful. She communicates well, and is candid and supportive, a combination not often found.
